Nesting Obsessions

As some of you may know with pregnancy there is the 'nesting instinct' that kicks in at a certain point. See description below...

"Nesting Instinct
Around the fifth month of pregnancy, the "nesting" instinct can set in. This is an uncontrollable urge to clean one's house brought on by a desire to prepare a nest for the new baby, to tie up loose ends of old projects and to organize your world."

Mine has been around for a little while, it doesn't really involve too much cleaning but has seen me come up with all sorts of things that need doing around the house. Big things, like building a fence, improving our little back courtyard, and turning the garage into the office/rumpus area (yet to be started). Of course these are quite big tasks, and things I can't really do myself, so my poor husband gets roped into most of the work. But he does such a great job and know's i'm not just being a crazed nesting pregnant woman, but that it will genuinely improve our house and it's value, and help us fit one more little person into it :) Nesting really is a crazy aspect of pregnancy, but helps to get things done!

PROJECT ONE: BUILD A FENCE TO KEEP NATHAN IN AND NEIGHBOURS DOG OUT
and
PROJECT TWO: IMPROVE THE LOOK OF OUR TINY BACK COURTYARD AND MAKING A BARRIER ON THE RETAINING WALL TO MAKE IT SAFER FOR KIDS

















Isn't Dean Clever!!!! We'll put some pics up once we finish project number 3, turning the garage into the office/rumpus area :)
